- "Sir, you are a great talent. You have mastered the Zheng Guo Canal. Your student, Shi Lu, admires you so much! He must be extraordinary." Fan Sui had already read an unusual charm from Zheng Guo's words.
Zheng Guo was a peerless water engineer. There was nothing he could do, but his student Shi Lu could do it. You can imagine how extraordinary this Shi Lu was.
?????????????????????????????????Everyone was greatly surprised, and their eyes were bright, focusing on Shi Lu.
Although Shi Lu was young, only in his twenties, he was calm and composed, nothing out of the ordinary. You must know that all the people here are extraordinary people. As long as they stamp their feet, they will be eclipsed. If it were anyone else, they would be either excited or frightened. Shi Lu was unusually calm, which was really extraordinary.
"Good!" Fan Sui and the others praised in unison.
"Shi Lu, tell me." Of course Qin Yiren knew that the designer and builder of this Ling Canal were extraordinary. Otherwise, the Ling Canal would not have been built.
"No." Shi Lu responded and began to state.
"Shi Lu and the teacher were ordered by His Majesty to investigate the matter of connecting the Xiang River and the Li River. After on-site investigation, they have some ideas. If there is something wrong, please ask Your Majesty to teach you." Shi Lu was neither humble nor arrogant. He first made an opening statement, and then said Cutting to the point, he said: "The Xiang River is high and the Li River is low. It is not easy to connect the two waters. However, it is not impossible. According to Shi Lu, it can be surrounded by mountains to slow down the water flow, and it can be navigable. "
Historically, the Qin State built three famous water conservancy projects: Dujiangyan, Zhengguo Canal and Ling Canal. Among these three major water conservancy projects, the most famous one is Zheng Guo Canal. Because this incident triggered the "expulsion of guests" incident, Qin Shihuang almost made the most serious mistake. This is also a good subject for discussion in later generations, so it is very famous.
However, to be fair, among the three major water conservancy projects, the one with the highest technical content should be Lingqu.
The design idea of ??the Lingqu canal itself is unique. Just like building a winding mountain road, a canal is built around the mountain to slow down the water flow, thereby achieving the purpose of navigation.
"Good!" Everyone said it was good. This was indeed a good idea, which made people feel enlightened.
"Although Sir, your idea is good, there are two difficulties in trying to make it navigable. First, the Xiang River is less than ten miles high and low, making it difficult to navigate. Second, in the dry season, when there is no water available, it is difficult to navigate." Wang Jian frowned. Pick, two questions were raised.
Qin Yiren's eyes fell on Wang Jian and he was very surprised. This Wang Jian's insight was really amazing, and he knew it.
The Xiang River is hundreds of meters higher than the Li River. Even if it is built, it will not be navigable. To solve this problem, the canal must be built like a winding mountain road.
However, the four-kilometer-long drop in the Xiangshui River is too large to be navigable. Wang Jian's first question was directed at this point.
"It's not difficult to do."
Shi Lu, however, was full of confidence and said: "The Xiang River is not navigable for less than ten miles, but the river course can be changed. It only needs to be repaired in this way."
While speaking, Shi Lu drew a ", shape.
The four kilometers of the Xiang River that were inconvenient for navigation were solved by Shi Lu. This is an amazing idea.
"Wonderful -!" Wang Jian patted his forehead with his right hand and praised loudly.
"It's really wonderful." Fan Sui and the others expressed admiration.
"As for the inconvenience to navigation during the dry season, we can build dams to store water and release water to adjust the water surface during the dry season." Shi Lu continued.
To build a dam, you need to use a ship lock. This is the first of its kind in the world. It is the earliest ship lock in the world. It can effectively regulate the water level and make the Lingqu Canal navigable all year round.
"Wonderful! Wonderful-!" A sound of admiration sounded, coming from everyone's mouths, and everyone was full of admiration.
Even Qin Yiren couldn¡¯t help but admire it. Although Qin Yiren had long known that Ling Canal was Shi Lu¡¯s masterpiece, he was still amazed when he heard Shi Lu express his idea with his own ears.
Our ancestors had great wisdom and created many outstanding projects, and Lingqu canal is just one of them.
"If you want to build the canal, you must first send an army into Lingnan and capture the Li River." Wang Jian's eyes flashed with light.
"This matter will be decided by the general." Qin Yiren was very capable of delegating power and handed over the matter to Wang Jian.
Wang Jian is right. If you want to build the Ling Canal, you must first capture the current Guilin and then build it to ensure safety.
"No." Wang Jian happily accepted the order.
The Ling Canal connects the Xiang River and the Li River. It actually connects the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. Because the Xiang River connects to the Yangtze River and the Li River connects to the Pearl River, these two major water systems are now navigable just because of one Ling Canal, which can greatly promote Transportation between Central Plains and South China,It can promote the economic development of South China.
"As long as this canal is built, logistics and transportation will no longer be a problem, and pacification of Lingnan is inevitable. Li Mu, what are your plans for defeating the Xiongnu?" Qin Yiren said to Li Mu.
"Your Majesty, I believe that in order to completely solve the Xiongnu problem, we must send troops in two directions, all the way to the Shanyu Royal Court, and all the way to Langjuxu Mountain, the sacred place for the Xiongnu to worship their ancestors." Li Mu knew the Xiongnu very well and talked eloquently. Said: "Under the current situation, the Qin Dynasty can only send troops all the way, starting from Shuofang City built in the Hetao area. It is difficult to deal a fatal blow to the Xiongnu. My intention is that if you want to open up another way to send troops, you have to send troops to Liaodong. , wipe out the remaining forces of Yan State, and follow the trend of Hu. Only in this way can we send troops from two directions."!
Mobei is very big. If we send troops all the way, it will not be a problem to defeat the Xiongnu. It is difficult to completely solve the Xiongnu problem. Therefore, sending troops from two directions is inevitable.
Historically, the "Decisive Battle of Mobei" initiated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was to divide the Han army into two, with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing each leading an army across the desert and directly attacking the Xiongnu's lair. The Xiongnu were defeated and finally destroyed. If the Han Dynasty sent troops all the way, victory would not be a problem, but it would not be able to destroy the Xiongnu.
Li Mu's words hit the mark, and Qin Yiren greatly appreciated it, saying: "What Li Mu said is very reasonable. It is urgent to send troops to Liaodong to defeat Donghu. Li Mu, you should choose the opportunity to send troops."
"No." Li Mu happily accepted the order.
Although Donghu disturbed the border from time to time, the threat to China was not great. However, it would be difficult to defeat the Xiongnu without defeating Donghu, because Donghu would threaten the Qin army's supply line and had to be defeated first.
After further discussing some details, Wang Jian and Li Mu took their leave and left Xianyang to prepare for the pacification of Baiyue and the dispatch of troops to Liaodong.
Qin Yiren was busy dealing with government affairs again. Time passed very quickly, and soon Mrs. Qing came to report that the merchants invited by Mrs. Qing had arrived in Xianyang.
Mrs. Qing is the largest merchant in the world and has a high prestige among merchants. She came forward to invite these merchants, and these merchants had to come. There were no less than a thousand merchants of all sizes who came to Xianyang.
Accompanied by Mrs. Qing, Qin Yiren led civil servants such as Fan Sui, Li Si, Cai Ze, Wang Wan, and Fan Zeng to the imperial palace. He took a quick look at the good guys, many merchants, all dressed in luxurious clothes. Qi.
Merchants don¡¯t have much, except gold. It¡¯s impossible for them not to stink of copper.
" Moreover, these merchants looked at Qin Yiren with nervous expressions on their faces, like pigs entering a slaughterhouse.
The merchants rushed to greet Qin Yiren, but Qin Yiren waved his hand and asked them to leave.
Then, Qin Yiren said with a smile: "When I look at you, you are all very nervous. Are you thinking that I am eyeing your money bags?"
"These merchants are still worried about this matter. If Qin Yiren is eyeing their money bags, all they need is a decree from Qin Yiren. Why don't they obediently give up their money?"
After listening to Qin Yiren's words, they became even more nervous. Some of them turned pale and trembled, thinking that it was over.
"You should be at ease, I won't do such a thing of squandering the lake." Qin Yiren said with a smile: "I invited you here because I have a big deal to do with you."
"Your Majesty, are you kidding? You are the emperor, how can you do business with merchants like us?" No one spoke, and Yidun had to speak.
The person in charge of the Yidun family now is Lao Yidun's son, who is about forty years old and very shrewd.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is joking." Even if these merchants were beaten to death, they would not believe that Qin Yiren must be lying to them if he wanted to do business with them.
Of course Qin Yiren knew what the merchants were thinking and said with a smile: "What I said is true. You don't need to worry. You all know that I have revised the corvee law. Those who serve in corvee must not go more than a hundred miles from where their home is. Those who want to do it will all use money and food to make up for it. In this way, it will be convenient for the people of the country, but without the people, it will be difficult to build roads and water conservancy. How to solve this problem? "
The news of amending the corvee law has spread all over the world, and the people of the country are applauding it and are generally in favor of it. From now on, you no longer have to go far away to do corvee work. You only need to pay some money and food. You can completely guard your own home. Who can not be happy?
However, as soon as this method came out, the number of people was reduced, and many projects could not be completed. Qin Yiren's words were very arousing, and these merchants were no exception. They all looked at Qin Yiren with their eyes wide open.
"I just thought of you merchants." Qin Yiren explained the whole story and said: "I will provide money and food, and you recruit people to do this together. Of course, you will get the interest you want from it."
"Your Majesty, are you serious?" The merchant is very interested in making money, and it turns out to be true. He was worried a moment ago, but now when he heard about the huge profits, he was all looking forward to it.
"It's absolutely true." Qin Yiren nodded heavily and said to Cai Ze, "Put it up."
Cai Ze responded and ordered a few servants to bring up a giant map. This was the Qin Dynasty's mountain and river geography map. The entire Qin Dynasty was on it. The most obvious ones were the four red lines.
"These four red lines are four straight roads, which are the first batch of projects in the Qin Dynasty. The first straight road starts from Xianyang and goes to Jiuyuan; the second straight road also starts from Xianyang and goes straight to Linzi; the third straight road starts from Linzi , to Jiuyuan; the fourth straight road is from Jiuyuan to Changsha." Qin Yiren pointed to the map and explained to the merchants, saying: "With these four straight roads, we can run from east to west, north to south, and circulate goods. Hui, therefore, these four straight roads must be cultivated.¡±
The eyes of the merchants were full of fire, and they were all excited.
"These four straight roads are a huge project. If we can get them, we will make huge profits. It will be much more than buying cheap and selling high. Who can not be tempted?" - Didn't finish reading?
